Ender Riens's post in Skep "Nearby Flower" Variance was marked as the answer
When you place a flower (or most any plant), it places it in a random set position within the block to add minor variance. The range on beehives is actually not based on exact block lengths--I'd guess it's actually more of a circle. The takeaway is that flowers may or may not count towards a beehive (if they are near its max range) depending on where the flower is placed within the block.
Here is an example:
A skep with a row of 3 flowers placed 8 blocks away in all directions. Notice the "nearby flowers" is not a multiple of 4 (or not zero), as you'd expect--that is because a particular 3 flowers are placed nearer to the skep inside of their block (close enough to fall within its range).

Ender Riens's post in Forget me, or Forget me not? was marked as the answer
Yeah, Forget-Me-Nots don't spawn in large groups, making them extremely hard to collect en masse. A simpler solution is to raise your beehives up one block with a fence (or block of choice) so they stand above the flowers but still get the flower effects. Then you can put almost any flower in your apiary (except the extremely tall ones) without issue. Also puts your hives closer to eye level.

You have to hold right click on the top of the quern--the part with handles that you'd rotate. Clicking the bottom half opens its inventory.

Ender Riens's post in Metals was marked as the answer
Yes. As of so far, it is the best tier of metal to use by a landslide in terms of durability, and one of the most labor-intensive metals to gain access to. Meteoric iron is your next best metal and usually slightly better than normal iron, but steel is often around 2.5x better than normal iron and 2x better than meteoric. It also almost always has better mining speed modifiers than any iron.
